You guys get angry when a sexy woman touches you?
Is TIH no longer canon? Because Norton's "Hulkometer" went crazy when he was fooling around with Tyler.

TIH is like their ******* child right now. They don't seem to want to admit they got drunk and did that.

Does anyone think TIH design would fit in nicely or stick out poorly in Avengers/AOU?

Rushing home from work to go catch this 
I know I missed the convo, but going back to ticket prices... guys.... don't come to NY
My local AMC's tickets (non-matinee) are $15.75 each for non 3D
In Manhattan, most AMC's look like (non-matinee): $14.50 regular, $18.50 3D, $20.50 IMAX 3D
(I guess my local theater is charging more than the city because they have these power reclining leather/vinyl over-sized seats that are pretty fkin awesome)

There are great observations being brought up about how it took a village (avengers) to raise (create) a synthezoid (vision).
They all had a hand in creating him, even the actions from the ones trying to stop it from happening had a hand in his creation.
Vision is an embodiment of their collective actions, "together" really meant Vision, and it was Vision who finally took out the last remaining Ultron (or absorbed him, who knows).

Finally saw this last night, I think it's right down there with Iron Man 3 and Thor TDW as the worst superhero films Marvel has produced so far, as of right now I think it might be the worst.
While I didn't think the first Avengers was a good movie, it at least was enjoyable, a movie that children and adults can go to the movies and enjoy. AOU though, felt like it was made specifically for the teenage crowd. I honestly don't know what separates it from movies like Transformers and Fast and Furious.
The acting was horrible from almost everyone, the one-liners were excessive and cringeworthy, the editing was abysmal. Other then having some nice visual effects, I don't know what this movie actually got right.
Every movie Tony Stark/Downey is becoming more and more unlikeable, he's completely dropped his Stark persona and is now just playing himself.
I have to disagree with Ronri, I respect your opinion of course, but Ultron just didn't work for me. He had some really cringeworthy dialogue in my opinion, and never felt like a threat.
I thought Cap and Thor were handled well, Whedon's cheesy dialogue and humor actually works for both of these characters. I actually thought Hemsworth was the best thing about the movie, his lines were actually funny, and I never knew Hemsworth was that charismatic. I just wish he was in this more. His little trip to that magic water made absolutely no sense though.
Reading reviews, I had high hopes for Hawkeye, I'm a big Renner fan, but I preferred him when he was a mindless zombie. Whedon did an absolutely terrible job trying to humanize him. In fact with the exception of Cap, Thor, and maybe Banner, the rest of the cast act nothing like the comic book versions of themselves and came off so different compared to the other movies they've been in in this universe. Widow, Stark, Banner, and Renner felt totally different from their previous movies, their character progression felt too unnatural and Whedon bringing in other cliche plot devises made it even worse. This movie did a bad job at making us feel like this was a continuation of the other films in Phase 2, it felt more like a one off.
The Twins were horrible, their bad accents were a major distraction and probably the reason why they didn't have much dialogue. I'm actually shocked that people think this version of QS is better than the FoX-Men version, everyone keeps saying that he's a more fleshed out characters and isn't a plot device unlike Peter's version but he barely did anything in this. Most of the time he stood by his sister in silence while everyone else spoke. Not even kidding, I think Evan Peter's version actually had more dialogue. Their relationship was creepy too, the way QS kept touching his sister makes me Whedon was definitely going the ultimate route with these characters. What's funny though, I actually think both characters have a lot of potential under a better director, I'd like to see both characters return.
AOU actually seems to be getting a lot of hate everywhere but here, I can't help but feel some fans are letting Marvel off the hook here. The quality of this movie is just plain bad, we've had superhero movies that've come out 40 years ago with more more quality. Whedon has been a major hinderance to the MCU in my opinion, he just doesn't know how to balance drama and humor. He should look at Raimi's first two Spider-Man films for inspiration, those films for the most part perfectly balance drama and humor and are far better in quality than AOU. He seems afraid to take these characters serious, Hawkeye's "none of this makes sense" line perfectly sums up this movie for me, and really shows what Whedon thinks of these characters. Instead of taking time to explain things, he just decides to make a joke about how ridiculous this genre is because he's obviously a subpar writer. I actually found that Hawkeye line more insulting than funny.
For the people that enjoyed this movie I'm happy for you, but do you really think this movie is special in anyway? Is it anything more than a few laughs and special effects.
Can you really put AOU on the list of the great/good superhero movies of all time like Superman 1 and 2, Batman 89, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Blade 1 and 2, the Dark Knight films, Singer/Vaughn X-Men, Iron Man 1, The Winter Soldier and Guardians? These movies are far higher in quality than these Avenger films that Whedon has made.
I'm ready for the Russo regime, hopefully Whedon is never allowed to make another superhero movie again.

You're just asking for trouble now.
Both movies have serious issues, but AOU was consistently bad. I'll admit though, nothing in AOU was as cringeworthy as the Tornado scene. That has to be the worst scene in a superhero movie of all time

Ultron had a dark sense of humor since he was based off Tony. I thought it made much more sense the 2nd and third time I saw it but I can agree with Joss not being able to blend drama with humor. But I actually thought the humor was a little more forces in the first movie. They made so many references to how Ultron and Tony were alike so I thought it made sense with the personality and dialogue that he had. I think he was menacing in a different kind of way. He wasn't as scary as he could have been but I think he was fine with what he was given to do, with the removal of Hank Pym.
I thought the twins were fine as well.
I thought that this Pietro was very close to how 616 Pietro was. Protective, a bit of an ass but still can be a good guy. He was the Pietro that I read in House of M. He was 616 Pietro and I really really appreciate that.
DOFP Peter was very similar to X-Men Evolution's Pietro but was also literally Bart Allen or Tommy Kaplan on screen. I guess it's just not the Pietro I want to see.
Have you not seen close siblings like that before? It may not be incestuous but they were all they had which was each other. It made sense that they would hold hands and make sure each other was okay when they could.
If anything, the only things I really didn't like was Clint's family from the ultimate universe and the Bruce/Nat relationship. And of course, killing Pietro.
I think it's actually a solid film. A very solid film. I'd give it an 8.5. Could it have been better? Absolutely. But I blame cutting scenes out for that. I think it could've been 15-20 minutes longer. Hell, there was even an alternate ending with Pietro being part of the new team with a new costume and everything and I really rather would've had that. I completely understand why people didn't like it but I enjoyed it for what it was.
I wasn't too worried with Joss wrote Ultron but if I found out that he was gonna sign on for Infinity War, **** that, I'd be worried. I'm glad he had his time with Marvel Studios and I'm sure the Russos will pick up the mantle and deliver quality films like they did with The Winter Soldier. I wanna see Good Riddance, Joss. But thank you at the same time.

Shame JAWS is far away.
